Problems solved by technology

The resulting scalable video coding system has some typical problems associated with a conventional DPCM coding system such as error propagation and “drift”, which is caused by the different versions of prediction signals employed at the encoder and decoder.
It also often incurs a significant efficiency and complexity penalty for accommodating scalable video compression.
However, the number of resulting source pixel samples is thus increased by 33.3% for building a complete image pyramidal representation in the resulting coding system, which can inherently further reduce compression efficiency.
The simulation results from the JVT core experiment also show that the current H.264/AVC joint scalable video model (JSVM) suffers...

Abstract

An apparatus and method is provided for highly scalable intraframe video coding. The conventional macroblock DCT tools are integrated with the subband filter banks for the improved efficiency of scalable compression. The enhancement layers are represented in a subband domain and coded by an inter-layer frame texture coder utilizing inter-layer prediction signal formed by the decoded previous layer. Each quality enhancement layer is additionally scalable in resolution.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to video signal compression and more particularly to video signal compression for high definition video signals.BACKGROUND[0002]Intraframe video coding is useful for applications that require fast random access to individual video frames. The example areas of application include motion picture production, medical and satellite imaging, and digital cinema. Recently, the Joint Video Team (JVT) of the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) and ISO / IEC Moving Picture Expert Group (MPEG) released a scalable video coding (SVC) extension to the H.264 / AVC standard to address the increasing need for more flexible video representation for video services over heterogeneous environments. SVC provides a new profile dedicated to intraframe video coding which, known as Scalable High Intra, is mainly targeted for professional applications.[0003]Prior international video coding standards such as MPEG-1, 2, 4 and H.26x family were b...
